Department of Materials Engineering, Surface Engineering Research Centre (SERC), University of Wollongong, NSW 2522, AustraliaA series of experiments was performed to investigate the production of WC/Ni clad layers on H13 tool steel using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser and optical fibers. The effects of laser parameters, such as laser pulse energy and pulse frequency as well as material parameters such as powder composition and shape on the clad layer geometry and microstructure, were investigated. The microstru...

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802The optimal parameters of a nanosecond pulsed laser for writing of tracks of controlled resistance onto high resistivity silicon carbide were investigated. A controlled energy deposition approach was carried out to minimize changes to the surface topography. The effect of fluence and irradiance on the ability to write narrow lines with controlled resistance were the explored parameters. Two focal length lenses and a large range of fluences were chosen to determine the best paramete...

Lappeenranta University of Technology, Laser Processing Centre, Tuotantokatur 2, FIN 53850 Lappeenranta, FinlandThe utilization of the laser welding process with filler wire addition is often considered a complicated and difficult process which has too high accuracy demands for a work shop floor. This study shows the effect of some of the most important welding variables to the quality and efficiency of laser welding when welding with filler wire. The material used was a common structural steel St52/37 of 6 mm in thickness. The joint type used was a butt joint. Acceptable weld quality was achieved with most of the tested p...

Department of Applied Physics, Materials Science Centre, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The NetherlandsA novel method for laser penetration microspot welding of sheet metal is presented. With this so called “laser spike-welding,” large gap tolerances are allowed. Depending on the ratio of laser spot radius to top plate thickness, gaps of 100% of the top layer thickness and more can be bridged. With conventional keyhole penetrati...

Manufacturing Engineering and Management, Materials and Process Technology, Technical University of Denmark, Building 425, DK-2800 Lyngby, DenmarkA closed-loop control system is developed to maintain an even seam width on the root side of a laser weld by continually controlling the output laser power of a 1500 W CO2 laser. Quality control is done by a photodiode monitoring the root-side light emission from the process. The control system is successfully demonstrated to work in the bead-on-plate configuration on 2 mm sheets, both at constant speeds and at speeds ranging from 0.32 to more than 0.72 m/min in one welding tri...

Joining and Welding Research Institute, Osaka University 11-1 Mihogaoka, Ibaraki, Osaka 567-0047, JapanInfrared CO2 and yttritium–aluminum–garnet (YAG) lasers have great difficulty in melting metals such as pure aluminum and copper possessing high reflectivity and high thermal and electrical conductivity. On the other hand, the laser absorptance of such metals generally increases with the decrease in the wavelength, and thus the application of laser with higher power and shorte...

The Tribomaterials Group at Ångstro¨m Laboratory, Uppsala University, SwedenThe antigalling and low friction properties of a CO2-laser processed Co-based material (Stellite 21) was investigated under high-load sliding conditions. Dry sliding tests were carried out at both room temperature and at 250 °C. The tests were performed by sliding two identical specimens against each other in a dedicated test. A low and stable friction coefficient at a level of about 0.20, and relatively independent on load and sliding speed, was obtained after a short runn...
